Wisps of white mist drifted across the river, and the water was muddy. Bayi Middle School? Wenwang? (a) ?. (8) 8?1 (1) Z?(8) .COM Because the river is very wide, the current does not look like a rough wave. But! As you can see from the floating debris that flows down, the degree is quite fast. In the blink of an eye, the float was gone.

Looking into the distance, on the river in the distance, the white mist rolls, giving people the feeling of fairyland.

Flying all the way, Zhuangzi saw that a corpse was floating on the river from time to time, and there was blood flowing on the corpse. After the blood gushed out, it was quickly dissolved by the river, and a blood flower appeared on the land. It's like a blooming flower, first a little bit, and then magnified to infinity.

Zhuangzi sensed it, and it was almost time for the accident to happen.

After flying for a while, boats the size of ants appeared on the river ahead.

During the Warring States period, ships were rarely seen on the river. Ordinary boats do not dare to row to the river. And those who can sail on the big rivers are generally big ships.

Just like an aircraft carrier sailing on the sea in modern society, an aircraft carrier is not something that ordinary countries can have.

Even if there are boats on the river, they are only small boats that walk on the riverside.

Gradually, you can hear the shouts of killing coming from there.

Seemingly! The battle over there isn't over there!

Is it war?

Zhuangzi thought it was impossible.

If there is a war, there will not only be those dozens of ships, there should be many.

Quite possibly! I met the river bandits again.

In the blink of an eye, Zhuangzi was near.

This is a very wide river, and this place is in the middle of the river. When I looked up, it was all white.

Zhuangzi had never been to the sea, but at this time he felt that he was in the middle of the sea, surrounded by water except water.

In the core, there is a merchant ship larger than Guandu. Around the merchant ships, there were eight large ships escorting them.

On the periphery of the big ship, there are more than 20 boats the size of Guandu. More than 20 ships the size of Guandu trapped the merchant ships and escort ships, and the two sides were engaged in a fierce battle.

"Listen up to the people on the merchant ships! We know! You are the merchant ships of Baekyu, but! You need to know! All merchant ships come to our Chu country, and they all have to pay taxes! If you don't pay taxes, we have the right to withhold you. Surrender! Get checked. ”

The men on the outer ships shouted towards the merchant ships, demanding that they surrender.

"You are not from the Chu State Government! Our caravan is not Bai Gui's caravan either, we are merchants of the Chu State. Our goods are going to Yingdu, and we have a pass for the commercial office of the capital. You are river bandits! Jiang bandits! If you come any closer, we'll shoot you!" You are river bandits! ”

"We are from Lingdu, and we suspect that your merchant ships are loaded with weapons. What are you doing smuggling weapons into Yingdu? Are you trying to rebel? ”

"What are you talking nonsense about them? Direct assault. ”

"That's right! If we don't attack again, if the Yingdu Navy comes, we won't be able to escape! Battle! ”

"If you attack, the casualties will be too great! To know! This is Bai Gui's merchant ship, with a strong bow and a hard crossbow on it, and we can't get close at all! ”

"Attack with fire!"

"It didn't work! Merchant ships are fire-proofed, and their cargo is kept in the hold! ”

The river bandits besieged the merchant ships one after another for a day and one night, but they were not able to capture them.

Baekyu's merchant ships traveled on the river all year round, sending goods from the downstream to the upper reaches and bringing the goods from the upstream to the downstream by the way. Transporting goods from the South Shore to the North Shore and sending goods from the North Shore to the South Shore. So! As for the Jiang bandits, they have long been on guard.

In terms of passes, since Bai Gui's caravan runs this business all year round, the formalities are complete. Even if something happens, it will not be inspected in Jiangxin, and it will only be inspected after docking.

So! There is a large fleet of ships blocking them in the middle of the river, and it must be Jiang bandits.

This caravan is considered by the world to be Bai Gui's caravan, but it is not necessarily true.

This is a joint-stock group caravan, not only with Bai Gui's shares, but also with officials and businessmen from all over the way. It's just that! Originally, it was a large ship built at the expense of Bai Gui, and it was originally operated by Bai Gui secretly. Afterward! After being known to be Bai Gui's caravan, Bai Gui had to bring in officials and businessmen from all over the route to carry out joint stock management.

If you don't have a good relationship with officials in various places along the way, you won't be able to settle down if something happens. Once the local officials have a stake, they will speak for you. No! It is to help them speak for themselves, and the more they contribute, the greater the profit.

If you don't have a good relationship with the merchants from all over the way, you have to run your own purchase and shipment. With the participation of local merchants, Bai Gyu can get both commercial profits and transportation profits, so why not?

The current Baigui caravan is no longer the Baigui caravan of the past.

Bai Gyu is just a name, and he no longer deals with this aspect of affairs. It's all in the hands of his subordinates, and he only takes the net profits. Even! He didn't even take the net profit.

Since he is relieved to be entrusted to someone to manage, he is absolutely assured.

And also! On the surface, Baekyu's caravan is Baekyu's, but in fact! Baekyu just provided transportation. Whoever transports the goods is escorted by the cargo owner.

In the face of this situation, the owner of the goods has a certain decision-making power.

In the face of this situation, the escort has a certain amount of decision-making power.

With the unanimous decision of everyone, it was decided to resolutely fight back. As long as the Jiang bandits dared to approach, they dared to shoot with bows and crossbows.

Since the river is too wide to see the riverbank, you can't pass on the news after being trapped by the bandits. So! has been trapped by Jiang bandits for a day and a night.

But! Some of the merchant ships are fed, and they are not afraid of being trapped. Opposite! Jiang Bandit was in a hurry.

Because! The sailors of Yingdu often have patrol boats coming. And! It's a warship. Once they are bumped into by the patrol boats of the navy, these river bandits are a dead end.

Although the state of Chu has problems in management, but! In terms of public order and major issues, we are absolutely unrelenting. For the Jiang bandits, they will only be severely punished.

And also! Merchants and merchant ships from all over the country along the way did not arrive as scheduled, so they might send people out to inquire. Even! Send a boat out of the river and come to the river to inquire.

Because! This concerns the interests of businessmen everywhere. In business dealings, they often have the capital to bet on it or pay a deposit.

The Jiang bandits had no choice but to resort to a strong attack again.

First! It's still the old way, shoot fire bombs at merchant ships first.

A fire bomb, as the name suggests, is a ball made from flammable materials. The bomb is then lit, placed on the firing rack, and catapulted onto the opposing merchant ship.

Unfortunately! The merchant ships made by Bai Gyu have long taken this into account and have adopted fire prevention treatments. Furthermore! This is in the middle of the great river, and there is water. When you see that the fire bomb is coming over, use a shovel to shovel the fire bomb into the water, and then rinse it with water.

So! Fire bombs are useless at all.
